Erin Wilson and her son Bane will forever be remembered for their kind nature.

The mother and her eight-year-old son were tragically killed in a horror crash on Friday afternoon in Korumburra about 3:30pm.

Erin Wilson’s aunt Helena Wilson said they will “sadly be missed”.

“We will miss Bane’s cheeky smile,” Helena said.

“Erin was a great support, friend and cousin to [my daughter] MacKenzie”.

“She was always a happy person, nothing ever got her down.”

Helena said they were both too young to be taken so soon.

“She will be incredibly missed”.

Tammy Grimley described Erin as a “beautiful lady”.

“This is just tragic,” she said.

The investigation by Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives remains ongoing.

A 59-year-old Bass man was interviewed and has been released pending further enquiries.
